I wanted to pay my respects. I am doing a project on Holocaust survivors, and I found Erika so brave and courageous. She is now in God's hands <3

Erika - I always called her Mrs. Eckstut - was one of my favorite people in the world since I met her when I was a teenager in St. Louis. My heart goes out to Elise, Michael and all the family.

I was so sorry to read about Erika's passing in this morning's Washington Post. I met Erika thru Bess Murlas and became a friend of hers. She is one of the most memorable people I've ever met and her story of how she came to this country is amazing. Her story is on the U. S. Holocaust Museum site. I took her years ago to speak at the local Catholic elementary school and the children there had never met anyone who had her experiences during the war and they thought she was wonderful, as did I. I will keep Erika in my prayers.
